Merge two maps.

merge takes two WhenMissing tactics, a WhenMatched tactic and two maps. It uses the tactics to merge the maps. Its behavior is best understood via its fundamental tactics, mapMaybeMissing and zipWithMaybeMatched.

Consider

merge (mapMaybeMissing g1)
             (mapMaybeMissing g2)
             (zipWithMaybeMatched f)
             m1 m2

Take, for example,

m1 = [(0, 'a'), (1, 'b'), (3, 'c'), (4, 'd')]
m2 = [(1, "one"), (2, "two"), (4, "three")]

merge will first "align" these maps by key:

m1 = [(0, 'a'), (1, 'b'),               (3, 'c'), (4, 'd')]
m2 =           [(1, "one"), (2, "two"),           (4, "three")]

It will then pass the individual entries and pairs of entries to g1, g2, or f as appropriate:

maybes = [g1 0 'a', f 1 'b' "one", g2 2 "two", g1 3 'c', f 4 'd' "three"]

This produces a Maybe for each key:

keys =     0        1          2           3        4
results = [Nothing, Just True, Just False, Nothing, Just True]

Finally, the Just results are collected into a map:

return value = [(1, True), (2, False), (4, True)]

The other tactics below are optimizations or simplifications of mapMaybeMissing for special cases. Most importantly,

• dropMissing drops all the keys.
• preserveMissing leaves all the entries alone.

When merge is given three arguments, it is inlined at the call site. To prevent excessive inlining, you should typically use merge to define your custom combining functions.

Examples:

unionWithKey f = merge preserveMissing preserveMissing (zipWithMatched f)

intersectionWithKey f = merge dropMissing dropMissing (zipWithMatched f)

differenceWith f = merge diffPreserve diffDrop f

symmetricDifference = merge diffPreserve diffPreserve (\ _ _ _ -> Nothing)

mapEachPiece f g h = merge (diffMapWithKey f) (diffMapWithKey g)

When a key is found in both maps, apply a function to the key and values and maybe use the result in the merged map.

zipWithMaybeMatched :: (k -> x -> y -> Maybe z)
                    -> SimpleWhenMatched k x y z

When a key is found in both maps, apply a function to the key and values and use the result in the merged map.

zipWithMatched :: (k -> x -> y -> z)
               -> SimpleWhenMatched k x y z

Map over the entries whose keys are missing from the other map, optionally removing some. This is the most powerful SimpleWhenMissing tactic, but others are usually more efficient.

mapMaybeMissing :: (k -> x -> Maybe y) -> SimpleWhenMissing k x y

mapMaybeMissing f = traverseMaybeMissing (\k x -> pure (f k x))

but mapMaybeMissing uses fewer unnecessary Applicative operations.

Drop all the entries whose keys are missing from the other map.

dropMissing :: SimpleWhenMissing x y

dropMissing = mapMaybeMissing (\_ _ -> Nothing)

but dropMissing is much faster.

Since: containers-0.5.9

Preserve, unchanged, the entries whose keys are missing from the other map.

preserveMissing :: SimpleWhenMissing x x

preserveMissing = Merge.Lazy.mapMaybeMissing (\_ x -> Just x)

but preserveMissing is much faster.

Since: containers-0.5.9

Map over the entries whose keys are missing from the other map.

mapMissing :: (k -> x -> y) -> SimpleWhenMissing k x y

mapMissing f = mapMaybeMissing (\k x -> Just $ f k x)

but mapMissing is somewhat faster.

Filter the entries whose keys are missing from the other map.

filterMissing :: (k -> x -> Bool) -> SimpleWhenMissing x x

filterMissing f = Merge.Lazy.mapMaybeMissing $ \k x -> guard (f k x) *> Just x

but this should be a little faster.

An applicative version of merge.

mergeA takes two WhenMissing tactics, a WhenMatched tactic and two maps. It uses the tactics to merge the maps. Its behavior is best understood via its fundamental tactics, traverseMaybeMissing and zipWithMaybeAMatched.

Consider

mergeA (traverseMaybeMissing g1)
              (traverseMaybeMissing g2)
              (zipWithMaybeAMatched f)
              m1 m2

Take, for example,

m1 = [(0, 'a'), (1, 'b'), (3,'c'), (4, 'd')]
m2 = [(1, "one"), (2, "two"), (4, "three")]

mergeA will first "align" these maps by key:

m1 = [(0, 'a'), (1, 'b'),               (3, 'c'), (4, 'd')]
m2 =           [(1, "one"), (2, "two"),           (4, "three")]

It will then pass the individual entries and pairs of entries to g1, g2, or f as appropriate:

actions = [g1 0 'a', f 1 'b' "one", g2 2 "two", g1 3 'c', f 4 'd' "three"]

Next, it will perform the actions in the actions list in order from left to right.

keys =     0        1          2           3        4
results = [Nothing, Just True, Just False, Nothing, Just True]

Finally, the Just results are collected into a map:

return value = [(1, True), (2, False), (4, True)]

The other tactics below are optimizations or simplifications of traverseMaybeMissing for special cases. Most importantly,

• dropMissing drops all the keys.
• preserveMissing leaves all the entries alone.
• mapMaybeMissing does not use the Applicative context.

When mergeA is given three arguments, it is inlined at the call site. To prevent excessive inlining, you should generally only use mergeA to define custom combining functions.

When a key is found in both maps, apply a function to the key and values, perform the resulting action, and maybe use the result in the merged map.

This is the fundamental WhenMatched tactic.

When a key is found in both maps, apply a function to the key and values to produce an action and use its result in the merged map.

Traverse over the entries whose keys are missing from the other map, optionally producing values to put in the result. This is the most powerful WhenMissing tactic, but others are usually more efficient.

Traverse over the entries whose keys are missing from the other map.

Filter the entries whose keys are missing from the other map using some Applicative action.

filterAMissing f = Merge.Lazy.traverseMaybeMissing $
  \k x -> (\b -> guard b *> Just x) <$> f k x

but this should be a little faster.
